skin burn(s).
 Do not forcibly bend or pull the cable that is connected to the driver. Doing so may result in damage.
 Do not touch the terminals while conducting the insulation resistance measurement or the dielectric
strength test. Doing so may cause electric shock.
 Do not leave anything around the driver that would obstruct ventilation. Doing so may result in
damage to equipment.
 Use a motor and a driver only in the specified combination. An incorrect combination may cause a fire.
 Take measures against static electricity when operating the switches of the driver. Failure to do so may
result in the driver malfunction or damage to equipment.
 Provide an emergency stop device or emergency stop circuit external to the equipment so that the
entire equipment will operate safely in the event of a system failure or malfunction. Failure to do so
may result in injury.
 When moving the moving part manually, put the motor into a non-excitation state. Continuing the
work while the motor is in an excitation state may result in injury.
 Immediately when a problem occurred, stop operation and turn off the main power supply and the
control power supply. Failure to do so may result in fire, electric shock or injury.
 Before turning on the main power supply and the control power supply, turn all input signals to the
driver to OFF. Failure to do so may result in injury or damage to equipment.
 For the control power supply, use a DC power supply with reinforced insulation on its primary and
secondary sides. Failure to do so may result in electric shock.

 Precautions for use

3 Precautions for use

This chapter covers restrictions and requirements the user should consider when using the product.
 Be sure to use our cable to connect the motor and driver.
Refer to p.52 for the model name of cables.
 When conducting the insulation resistance measurement or the dielectric strength test, be sure to
separate the connection between the motor and the driver.
Conducting the insulation resistance measurement or dielectric strength test with the motor and driver connected
may result in damage to the product.
 Preventing leakage current
Stray capacitance exists between the driver’s current-carrying line and other current-carrying lines, the earth and the
motor, respectively. A high-frequency current may leak out through such capacitance, having a detrimental effect on
the surrounding equipment. The actual leakage current depends on the driver’s switching frequency, the length of
wiring between the driver and motor, and so on.When connecting an earth leakage breaker, use one of the following
products offering resistance against high frequency current:
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation: NV series
 Saving data to the non-volatile memory
Do not turn off the control power supply while writing the data to the non-volatile memory, and also do not turn off
for 5 seconds after the completion of writing the data. Doing so may abort writing the data and cause an EEPROM
error alarm to generate. The non-volatile memory can be rewritten approximately 100,000 times.
 If vertical drive (gravitational operation) such as elevator applications is performed or if sudden start-
stop operation of a large inertial load is repeated frequently, connect our regeneration resistor.
The overvoltage alarm may generate depending on the operating condition of the motor.
When the overvoltage alarm has generated, review the operating conditions or connect our regeneration resistor.
Refer to p.17 for connection method.
 Note on connecting a control power supply whose positive terminal is grounded
The USB communication connector, CN5, CN6 (*) and CN7 (*) connector are not insulated. When grounding the
positive terminal of the control power supply, do not connect any equipment (PC, etc.) whose negative terminal is
grounded. Doing so may cause the driver and this equipment to short, damaging both. When connecting, do not
ground equipment.
* Excluding the pulse input type.

This chapter explains how to connect the motor, power supply and I/O signals to the driver, as well as grounding
method.

 For protection against electric shock, do not turn on the main power supply and
control power supply until the wiring is completed.
 A high voltage is applied to the motor connector (CN3) and the main power supply
input terminals (CN4). Do not touch these terminals while the power is on. Doing so
may result in fire or electric shock.

*1 This cable is provided as our product. Purchase it separately.

*2 Use the cable for encoder when the length of the encoder cable of motor is not enough.

 Connect the connectors securely. Insecure connections may cause malfunction or damage to the
motor or driver.
 When connecting or disconnecting the connector, turn off the main power supply and control
power supply, and wait for the CHARGE LED to turn off before doing so. The residual voltage may
cause electric shock.
 Do not wire the power supply cable of the driver in the same cable duct with other power lines or
motor cables. Doing so may cause malfunction due to noise.
 The lead wires of the "cable for electromagnetic brake" have polarities, so connect them in the
correct polarities. If the lead wires are connected with their polarities reversed, the electromagnetic

7-10 Noise elimination measures

There are two types of electrical noises: One is a noise to invade into the driver from the outside and cause the driver
malfunction, and the other is a noise to emit from the driver and cause peripheral equipment malfunction.
For the noise that is invaded from the outside, take measures to prevent the driver malfunction. It is needed to take
adequate measures because signal lines are very likely to be affected by the noise.
For the noise that is emitted from the driver, take measures to suppress it.

 Measures against electrical noise

There are the following three methods mainly to take measures against the electrical noise.
 Noise suppression
 When relays or electromagnetic switches are used together with the system, use noise filters and CR circuits to
suppress surges generated by them.
 Use our connection cable when extending a wiring distance between the motor and driver. This is effective in
suppressing the electrical noise emitted from the motor.
 Cover the driver by a metal plate such as aluminum. This is effective in shielding the electrical noise emitted from
the driver.
 Prevention of noise propagation
 Connect a noise filter in the power supply cable of driver.
 Place the power lines, such as the motor and power supply cables, keeping a distance of 200 mm (7.87 in.) or more
from the signal lines, and also do not bundle them or wire them in parallel. If the power cables and signal cables
have to cross, cross them at a right angle.
 Use shielded twisted pair cables for power lines and signal lines.
 Keep cables as short as possible without coiling and bundling extra lengths.
 Grounding multiple points will increase effect to block electrical noise because impedance on the grounding
points is decreased. However, ground them so that a potential difference does not occur among the grounding
points. I/O signal cable including with a ground wire is also provided as our product. Refer to p.55 for the model
name.
 To ground a shielded cable, use a metal cable clamp that will maintain Shielded cable
contact with the entire circumference of the cable. Ground the cable Cable clamp
clamp near the product.

 Suppression of effect by noise propagation

 Loop the noise propagated cable around a ferrite core. Doing so will prevent the propagated noise invades into
the driver or emits from the driver. The frequency band in which an effect by the ferrite core can be seen is
generally 1 MHz or more. Check the frequency characteristics of the ferrite core used. When increasing the effect of
noise attenuation by the ferrite core, loop the cable a lot.
 Use the line driver type, which is less likely to be affected by electrical noise, for the output circuit of pulse signals.
When the pulse signal of the controller is the open collector type, use our pulse signal converter for noise
immunity. Refer to p.55 for the model name.

 Noise suppression product

 Noise filter
 Connect the following noise filter (or equivalent) to the power line. Doing so will prevent the propagated noise
through the power line. Install the noise filter as close to the driver as possible.

Single-phase 100-120 V
Manufacture Three-phase 200-240 V
Single-phase 200-240 V
SOSHIN ELECTRIC CO., LTD. HF2010A-UPF HF3010C-SZA
Schaffner EMC FN2070-10-06 FN3025HP-10-71

 Use the AWG18 (0.75 mm ) or thicker wire for the input and output cables of the noise filter, and secure firmly
2

using a cable clamp or others so that the cable does not come off the enclosure.
 Place the input cable as far apart as possible from the output cable, and do not wire the cables in parallel. If the
input and output cable are placed at a close distance or if they are wired in parallel, the noise in the enclosure
affects the power cable through stray capacitance, and the noise suppressing effect will reduce.
 Connect the ground terminal of the noise filter to the grounding point, using as thick and short a wire as possible.
 When connecting a noise filter inside an enclosure, wire the input cable of the noise filter as short as possible.
Wiring in long distance may reduce the noise suppressing effect.

 Our noise suppression products

Refer to p.55 for the model name.
 I/O signal cable
This cable is a shielded cable for good noise immunity to connect the driver and controller. The ground wires useful to
grounding are provided at both ends of the cable. The EMC measures are conducted using our I/O signal cable.
 Pulse signal converter for noise immunity
This product converts a pulse signal, which is output from the open collector output, to a pulse signal for good noise
immunity by outputting the pulse signal again from the differential output.
 Surge suppressor
This product is effective to suppress the surge which occurs in a relay contact part. Connect it when using a relay or
electromagnetic switch. CR circuit for surge suppression and CR circuit module are provided.

7-11 Installing and wiring in compliance with EMC Directive

Effective measures must be taken against the EMI that the motor and driver may give to adjacent control-system
equipment, as well as the EMS of the motor and driver itself, in order to prevent a serious functional impediment in
the machinery. The use of the following installation and wiring methods will enable the motor and driver to be
compliant with the EMC directive. Refer to p.8 for the applicable standards.
Oriental Motor conducts EMC measurements on its motors and drivers in accordance with “Example of motor and
driver installation and wiring” on p.27. The user is responsible for ensuring the machine's compliance with the EMC
Directive, based on the installation and wiring explained below.
 Connecting the noise filter
In large electrically noisy environments, connect a noise filter. Refer to “Noise filter” on p.25 for details.
 Connecting the control power supply
For the control power supply, use a DC power supply that conforms to the EMC Directive.
Use a shielded cable for the wiring, and keep it as short as possible.
Refer to “Prevention of noise propagation” on p.25 for grounding the shielded cable.
 Connecting the motor cable
Use our connection cable when extending the wiring distance between the motor and driver.
 Connecting the signal cable
Refer to “Prevention of noise propagation” on p.25.
 How to ground
 The cable used to ground the motor, driver and noise filter must be as thick and short as possible so that no
potential difference is generated.
 Choose a large, thick and uniformly conductive surface for the grounding point.
 Be sure to ground the Protective Earth Terminals of the motor and driver. Refer to p.18 for grounding method.

The following input signals of the driver are photocoupler inputs. The signal state represents the "ON: Carrying
current" or "OFF: Not carrying current" state of the internal photocoupler rather than the voltage level of the signal.

 CW [PLS] input, CCW [DIR] input

These signals are used when the motor is operated by inputting pulses.
These inputs serve as the CW and CCW inputs in the 2-pulse input mode, or PLS and DIR inputs in the 1-pulse input
mode. Set the pulse input mode of the driver according to the pulse output mode of the controller (pulse generator)
used with the driver. When inputting the pulse, check the PLS-RDY output is turned ON.

When the motor is at standstill, be sure to keep the photocoupler in OFF state.

 Maximum input pulse frequency

 When the controller is of line driver type: 1 MHz (duty cycle is 50 %)
 When the controller is of open-collector type: 250 kHz (duty cycle is 50 %)
 2-pulse input mode
When the CW input is turned from OFF to ON, the motor will ON

Do not input the CW signal and CCW signal simultaneously. If the other signal is input while one of
the signals is ON, the motor cannot operate normally.

 1-pulse input mode

When the PLS input is turned from OFF to ON while the DIR 5 μs or more 5 μs or more
input is ON, the motor will rotate by one step in CW direction. ON
When the PLS input is turned from OFF to ON while the DIR PLS input
OFF
input is OFF, the motor will rotate by one step in CCW direction.

 START input
This signal is used to start positioning operation. It is not used when the motor is operated by inputting pulses.
Select the operation data number and turn the START input ON to start positioning operation.

 M0, M1, M2 input

Select a desired operation data number based on a Operation data No. M2 M1 M0
combination of ON/OFF status of the M0 to M2 inputs. 0 OFF OFF OFF
1 OFF OFF ON
2 OFF ON OFF
3 OFF ON ON
4 ON OFF OFF
5 ON OFF ON
6 ON ON OFF
7 ON ON ON

 ZHOME input
When the ZHOME input is turned ON, the motor will move to the home set by the HOME PRESET switch or MEXE02.
Since it does not require sensors, return-to-home is possible at high-speed.

 FREE input
When the FREE input is turned ON, the motor current will be cut off. When an electromagnetic brake motor is used,
the electromagnetic brake will be released. The motor output shaft can be rotated manually since the motor holding
torque is lost.

Do not turn the FREE input ON when driving a vertical load. Since the motor loses its holding torque,
the load may drop.

 STOP input
When the STOP input is turned ON, the motor will stop. When resuming the operation, input the operation start signal
or pulse to the driver after turning the STOP input OFF.

When the motor was stopped by the STOP input while the motor is operated by inputting pulses, be
sure to turn the pulse input OFF. If the STOP input is turned OFF while inputting pulses, the motor
may suddenly start rotating.

If the STOP input is turned ON while the motor is operated by inputting pulses, the driver is not
allowed to receive the pulse input.

 ALM-RST input
If the ALM-RST input is turned from OFF to ON while an alarm is generated, the alarm will be reset. (The alarm will be
reset at the ON edge of the ALM-RST input.) Before resetting an alarm, be sure to remove the cause of the alarm to
ensure safety. Note that some alarms cannot be reset with the ALM-RST input.

When the motor is operated by inputting pulses, turn the pulse input OFF before resetting the alarm.

 FW-JOG input, RV-JOG input

These signals are used to start JOG operation.
The motor continuously operates in the forward direction when turning the FW-JOG input ON, and the motor
continuously operates in the reverse direction when turning the RV-JOG input ON. If the signal having inputted is
turned OFF, the motor will stop.

Explanation of I/O signals

8-2 Output signals

The driver outputs signals in the photocoupler/open-collector output mode or line driver output mode. The signal
state represents the "ON: Carrying current" or "OFF: Not carrying current" state of the internal photocoupler rather
than the voltage level of the signal.

 HOME-END output
When the home is set or when high-speed return-to-home operation is complete, the HOME-END output turns ON.

 IN-POS output
After completion of positioning operation, when the motor was converged in a position of the “IN-POS positioning
completion signal range” parameter against the command position, the IN-POS output is turned ON.

IN-POS positioning completion

Target position
signal range [initial value: 1.8°]

ON
IN-POS output

 PLS-RDY output
This signal is used when the motor is operated by inputting pulses.
When the driver is ready to execute operation by inputting pulses, the PLS-RDY output turns ON. Input the pulse to
the driver after the PLS-RDY output was turned ON.

 READY output
When the driver is ready to execute operation, the READY output turns ON. Input the operation start signal to the
driver after the READY output was turned ON.

 MOVE output
The MOVE output turns ON while the motor is operating.

 ALM-B output
When an alarm generates, the ALM-B output will turn OFF, and the motor will stop. At the same time, the PWR/ALM
LED on the driver will blink in red. The ALM-B output is normally closed.

 ASG output, BSG output

The ASG output is used to output pulses according to motor operation. The motor position can be monitored by
counting the ASG output pulses. The number of output pulses per motor revolution varies depending on the
resolution effective when turning the control power supply on.
The BSG output has a 90° phase difference with respect to the ASG output. The motor rotation direction can be
determined by detecting the BSG output level at the rise of the ASG output.
CW rotation CCW rotation
ON
ASG output
OFF
90°
ON
BSG output

 The ASG output and BSG output are subject to a maximum delay of 0.1 ms with respect to motor
operation. Use these outputs to check the position at which the motor is stopped.
 Connect a termination resistor of 100 Ω or more between the driver and the input of the line
receiver.

33
Setting

 Base current rate

Set the base current rate (%) for the operating current and standstill current using the current setting switch
(CURRENT). If the load is small and there is an ample allowance for torque, motor temperature rise can be suppressed
by setting a lower base current rate.
The actual operating current and standstill current are as follows.
 Operating current: Maximum output current × Base current rate
 Standstill current: Maximum output current × Base current rate × 0.5
The dial settings and corresponding base current rates are listed below.

Dial setting Base current rate (%) Dial setting Base current rate (%)
0 6.3 8 56.3
1 12.5 9 62.5
2 18.8 A 68.8
3 25.0 B 75.0
4 31.3 C 81.3
5 37.5 D 87.5
6 43.8 E 93.8
7 50.0 F 100 (factory setting)

Excessively low operating current or standstill current may cause a problem in starting the motor or
holding the load in position. Set a suitable current for your application.

The motor torque is proportional to the current. If the CURRENT switch is set to "7" (50 %) while the
operating torque is set to 100 % (maximum output current), only 50 % of the torque is output.

Base current rate 100 %

Torque [N•m]

Rotation speed [r/min]

 Command filter
The motor response to input pulses can be adjusted using the command filter setting switch (FIL).
When setting a higher value for the command filter, lower vibration at low speed operation or smoother operation at
starting/stopping of the motor can be achieved. However, if this setting is too high, synchronization performance is
decreased. Set a suitable value based on the load or application.
The dial settings and corresponding command filter time constant are listed below.
